35 Unprofessional? We're volunteers. We're already bound by a CoC so there's no need to bring up a meaningless buzzword to describe behavior.

37 I'm not defending Michal's tone (sorry, not sure how to add the slash to the glyph on my phone), but 'unprofessional' is hardly an accusation to be taken seriously here. "Snarky", "rude", "unconstructive"; *something* that's descriptive and meaningful would make your point clearer.
